    The first book is a late 1970s novel from the male protagonist's perspective. He's a time traveler who focuses on making money. The interesting part is that his cheat ability is communicating with his brother from his previous life via envelopes, using the information his brother sends back to make a fortune. The plot is interesting, the language is humorous, and the female protagonist is also a time traveler with a spatial ability. It's a very engaging story that keeps you reading. The only downside is that it's still ongoing. The second book is an ancient story about an entire village fleeing famine. The protagonist travels to become a burly, pig-slaughtering woman. The villagers are all physically unattractive, but incredibly united. During their escape from famine, they form an amazing and incredibly efficient team, hunting, fighting off bandits, and more.
